Configuration and telemetry for VESC [iOS, Android]

That’s what I was wondering. I was setting up my second board with the module this morning and realized It doesn’t have an option of saving my motor poles, pulley ratios and wheel size, so I would only use GPS for speed to save time.

It does. If you have 2 modules (each in it’s own board), and you switch between them, your poles, pulley ratios, wheels, etc. will automatically switch too.

Interesting. I’ll check again when I get home. I connected to this second board this morning and the motor settings were from my first board. I guess it’s because the second board info wasn’t set up yet

That would be a killer feature, these watches readily available on amazon etc are a third of the price of an Apple Watch :watch:

I have two of your receivers, I’m willing to bet I’m not the only one who would buy this watch and pair it to an iPhone…I just wouldn’t give apple €350 or whatever it is now

How to correctly display the battery charge? I put in the settings of 12s, but it shows 86%, when fully charged.

What voltage do you have when fully charged?

Hello Roman,

I am using your Module and often nearly 99% I ride in the forest. And the GPS is often not recorded. the log says position not accurate. other Apps just record.

Clould you add a config field for that? It’s annoying if you ride >30km throu the forest and no distance is recorded and the record looks ugly

thanks from hamburg / germany rené

Forest tour 21st of May - bad GPS recording.

Thank you René for bringing this to my attention, I fixed this and made configurable (GPS Accuracy). Default configuration should be fine for you (accepts location with any accuracy). The updated version is coming soon.

P.S: This is some serious endurance, riding in the forest for 2 hours :+1:

50,4 V full charge

although at full charge shows 47,7 V

Thanks Roman for the prompt handling of that topic!

BTW: On my iPhone X the list of the recordings via date are not sorted. Even after I tried to resort them. Maybe this is a kind of dateformat hickup. Do you need a screenshot?

@rpasichnyk, hello, i set up the metre module as per your instructions above but do not get any data on the metre app. Set baud rate to 115200, and set app to ppm+uart. Was able to connect the module via bt to the app but then no data. I checked all the settings and am stumped. Any advice appreciated :blush:

What VESC are you using? VESC 6 has TX/RX swapped compared to VESC 4.XX. You tried swapping them?

They are maytech vesc 4.12 hw

So you double checked that RX is connected to TX and TX connected to RX?

Checked connections, rx~tx and tx~rx. Should i swap them?

@Ingvarjedi most likely your VESC reports incorrect voltage. Try another VESC? @Dmaxx can you double check that your baudrate is 115200, not 11250 (happened to me once), UART is enabled, power cycle VESC, try again. Also try with 9600 baudrate. @rene I think someone already reported this bug, I will have a look, thanks

Hi, @rpasichnyk, I have your module and still no able to use it, Oreo 8.1. In know you are working on it and I would like to know if you have a release date for make it work Thanks in advance

Small feature request! Would it be possible to add the name of the board to past records? I use the metr app with multiple boards, and when I go back in to my records, I can’t see which board I used on that specific trip. :slight_smile:

Nice idea, thank you :slight_smile: For the new records board name will be displayed when opened! Coming in a new version soon.
